New Login Page

Sense something different today? Well, if not, log out of your blog and log back in again. Wait! What’s that? A new login page!

Okay, let me explain. A long time ago, there were seven guys, including myself, who started a project named Shuttle. Shuttle’s mission was to redesign the WordPress back-end and it sort of happened, but it didn’t go as far as we wanted it to. One of my missions here is to see that Shuttle finally makes its debut in whatever form we as a team see fit.

The login page is the first step towards that. Remember, baby steps. 🙂 This particular design was made by Michael Heilemann during the course of the project. I hope you like this little change, and be sure to expect lots of other changes to come.

Well… I´ve noted a minor bug when using Firefox (at least) with the portuguese language… If I mistake my first password, the next screen shows “The I forgot the password” (in portuguese) over the Enter button, getting it difficult or impossible to press… A issue related with the portuguese translation (thanks again for it!)

Looks nice, but there appears to be a slight color difference between the main page background, and the background just behind the login box background. Main page background is slightly blue, but behind the login box is a gray. Otherwise, it looks alright.

This is nice, along with that new admin bar. I’d still like to see more themes for WP.com (not the narrow ones, but ones that make better use of screen real estate) and a quick blog stats link added to the admin bar. AJAX for blog stats through the admin bar would be cool. But all these are the little things, the crux of why I embrace WP.com is its fantastic backend and bandwidth capabilities :). So kudos to all of you!

The new login page is really nice. so much more aesthetically pleasing than the older one well all know of. You guys at wordpress are always doing everything you can to keep our blogging experience on of the best on the net, thanks so much!

You can thank the good timing of the firefox update to me seeing the login page. For some reason when firefox updated and restarted it made me login to my blog again.

It surprised me, but looked nice. Honestly, the login page doesn’t matter to me. I am more interested in the admin console like you described. I hope you take some thoughts from the Tiger Admin plugin.
